Today we&rsquo;re revisiting a conversation with R&B great Raphael Saadiq. Since this conversation aired, Raphael&rsquo;s brother and bandmate in trio Tony! Toni! Ton&eacute;!, D&rsquo;Wayne Wiggins, passed away. In this episode we revisit some of the early days and recordings sessions of Tony! Toni! Ton&eacute;!, their reunion tour and D&rsquo;Wayne&rsquo;s early involvement with Destiny&rsquo;s Child.&nbsp; We also dive deep into Raphael&rsquo;s solo career which has seen him release five albums starting with 2002&rsquo;s Instant Vintage. His most recent album, Jimmy Lee, is a collection of very personal songs about the real traumas he and his family experienced growing up in Oakland, CA. Raphael&rsquo;s also done some amazing work behind the board. He&rsquo;s produced and written for the likes of D&rsquo;Angelo, TLC, Mary J. Blige, Solange, Earth Wind and Fire and just recently he worked on a handful of songs on Beyonc&eacute;&rsquo;s Cowboy Carter. He&rsquo;s also earned an Academy Award nomination for his work as a film composer. Justin Richmond talks with Raphael Saadiq from his studio in Los Angeles about some of the incredible work he&rsquo;s done recently. Raphael breaks down his collaboration with D&rsquo;Angelo on the classic track &ldquo;Lady,&rdquo; and how Sly Stone bassist Larry Graham influenced a generation of musicians coming up in the Bay Area.See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
